Regisseure & Produzenten über Wien...

David Thompson, Kris Thykier, Peter Heslop

„We found the whole experience of shooting in Vienna incredibly positive. We’ve really enjoyed working with the Austrian crews, who are very talented and dedicated, and we particularly have welcomed the support of the Vienna Film Commission, without whom this film would not have been possible. We have had invaluable support from our local coproduction partner ’2nd District Filmproduktion’.

The production has employed more than one hundred local technical crew, and featured more than one thousand local actors and extras. We can only say that Vienna is an ideal location for shooting in, with terrific local crews and wonderful locations. We very much look forward to making other films here in the future. Vienna deserves to be a favoured film making centre for international production.“

"The backdrop of the world renown Vienna Opera House will be a beautiful cinematic addition to the fifth instalment in the Mission Impossible franchise. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Vienna on our behalf, for their gracious hospitality and welcoming us with open arms."

“I'm in love with Vienna. Not only is it the most beautiful city where I've ever shot but also quiet, easy to move around, very film friendly and with excellent crew. My hope is to shoot another project here very soon.”

”I am delighted to have had the opportunity to film in this remarkable city again after so many years. I found myself recalling the wonderful experience I had filming Bad Timing here with Nicolas Roeg (...) In the few days we have been here I have been charmed by Vienna all over again, particularly by the warm reception and support we have received from the people of the city.”

“Freud is synonymous with Vienna and for us to shoot this movie and have scenes taking place in Vienna for three days is for us absolute gold. It is fantastic to feel the real history of Vienna. To get the feel of an era you need locations like Cafe Sperl. You cannot beat a real location, we’re out in the streets, at The Sigmund Freud Museum and the Belvedere, it’s incredible, we feel like we’re in the early 1900s here.”

“Filming in Vienna, like everything about the 360 production, has been a fantastic experience. A wonderful international team including 60 Austrians, led by a director like Fernando Meirelles - now that was really something! Calm, thoughtful and always absolutely sure what he wants... that's the way Fernando works with his cameraman Adriano Goldman. He managed to implement spontaneous ideas while at the same time never failing to answer questions that may arise about the content. He always knew Peter Morgan was there to provide support, and as far as I'm concerned, working with Andrew Eaton felt as though we'd always been working together. I believe my team has been representing Austria well, and the images of Vienna will be extraordinary.”

In this exclusive video-interview Brazil's famous director Fernando Meirelles talks about shooting his newest masterpiece "360" starring Jude Law and Anthony Hopkins in Vienna. He also reveals his favourite spot in the beautiful former imperial capital.
